That's old news. I can't believe the BBC is that far behind.

Well I think they brought it back up because Myanmar(Burma) just granted the rights to the Mr. Cundall who had spent the last 16 years trying to find them,
and not that asshat brit that was trying to sneak in and get them.

Seems BBC might of mentioned the update though.

What is interesting though is....
Wargaming.net, which is providing financial support for the hunt, is excited by the prospect of the find.

Chief executive Victor Kislyi, said: "We are looking for these beautiful war machines hidden somewhere in the tropical jungle. It sounds like Indiana Jones.

"We hope we can see a squadron of Spitfires flying over London."
Glad my premium went towards something worthwhile.
